How free learning works
Join once, learn anywhere
Your NIBS Campus account is your login for everything: the free courses, the discussion spaces, the opportunities, your Skills Passport and, later, the Workplace Lab.
Learn with people, not alone
Each course has a space where learners and a facilitator talk through the work. You can learn online, or at a NIBS e-Learning Cafe if you do not have a computer or data at home.
Everything counts
Each free course you finish is recorded on your Skills Passport with a Certificate of Completion. Finishing a course is not the same as being assessed as competent: skills are verified in a Role Pathway, through real work that NIBS assesses.
- Cost
- Free.
- Entry requirements
- None. You need to be able to read and write in English and be willing to learn on a computer.
- Where
- Online, or at a NIBS e-Learning Cafe.
- Recognition
- A NIBS Certificate of Completion for each course you finish, recorded on your Skills Passport. It confirms completion and does not by itself certify workplace competence.
